[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 619573, member: 17542"] Stay with your fear and don't bury it, hide from it, turn away from it or call it something else. Stay with it. Let it wash over you. Just sit there and let it come. It feels like your stomach is falling away from you and you might even get dizzy and cry. You will ache inside. But you know what. You won't die from it. And because you have faced it, felt it, owned it, and looked it in the face----and accepted it-----as a part of yourself, you will grow from this experience. I really, really believe that fear is our most limiting factor---all of us---difficult children, pcs, everybody. We are all afraid. And we do a lot of crazy things because of our fear. We are afraid that our fear will scare us to death (no pun intended), and we think we can't survive it. But we can. This single act has helped me grow so much as a person, and to realize I have made many decisions, reactions, actions out of fear. I don't want to do that anymore. I want to move from a position of love, strength, generosity and courage. I believe you do, too, but you don't know how yet. You are so young, and you have a chance---TODAY---to start learning such valuable lessons many of us don't even glimpse until we are halfway or more than halfway through our lives. There is good that comes from bad, if only we will seek it, look for it, and claim it. I know you can do this. Like so many have said, it starts with being still, being honest, being ready to face the consequences, whatever they are---without going back to the old ways. You are going to be okay. I just know it. More blessings and prayers for you today. [/QUOTE]
